I already posted this here (7 upvotes, no downvote) but since the question was split into two, here we go again:
I just wanted to point that, in my opinion, if an OP asks that their question be remove from HNQ, their request should be respected.
Also, I believe that OP should be made aware of this possibility when their question hit HNQ (so that they don't feel trapped in this downfall of possible bad and judgemental answers).
